I'm a laid back girl, a dreamer with rational calls to reality, I will always stand for my family, friends, truth and justice.

I love big dogs, languages, photography, playing football with my cousins, big waves, smart kids, old houses, acoustic guitars, learning something about everything and portuguese poetry.

I don't like noise, stress over shallow stuff, meat, getting the vaccine shot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet more people related to CS, introduce foreigners to my beautiful city giving them "my eyes" and also be hosted in the next places I'm going!

My CS experience has been incredible so far. Examples:

An incredible week in the Dreaming South project in Cariati.
4 nights in Firenze with Alejandro, where I met a lot of other couchsurfers.
Worked for a B&B in a small town in Italy as a volunteer for 2 weeks.
Went to a gathering at Tejo bar in Alfama.
Toured Epsy through the streets of Lisbon and Sintra.
